Online Gamer Stabbed Over Stealing.....Me?

A really old article that always makes me laugh when I read it. Mainly because my name is in it! (Although in all seriousness it is a pretty pathetic thing)

wow people take losing cyberswords seriously. I wish we could find a picture of what the sword looked like, i bet it was awesome.

A bit ridiculous, but I see where things went wrong. It says the sword was sold for actual cash, 464 euros, which is 666 USD. Most of China is poor as hell and that might have been a lot of money. Even if they were not poor, that is pretty much money.

So he spent a shit ton of time trying to get the sword and then his friend sells it for himself and keeps the money.

Still ridiculous and pathetic, but there might have been a better reason behind it than a gamer rageing.

Old news but the one that I think is even more fucked up is the kid who killed him mom by hitting her 20 times with a clawed hammer while she slept, for taking away his play station.

...Ignorance is bliss... I like to close my eyes, cover my ears, and pretend that stories like this don't exist.

Its just wrong what people will do. That kid will either grow up to regret what he did, or think it was his only choice. Really, killing his mother? He must play alot of GTA. I am not joking, he must be seriously jacked up.

Games dont make you want to kill people, bad upbringing and just being pure evil/stupid - makes you want to kill people.

I believe games have SOME influence on life. I once met aguy that played minecraft so much, that he was literaly scared of the dark for fear of creeper spawn. I have seen him do it in real life. If you turn off the lights, he starts crying and screaming for the lights to go back on. His age was 17.

It depends on the person. I can play GTA for a month and not have one urge to steal a car, kill pedestrians, or bitch slap hookers on the street. My brother on the other hand... he could play for a week and start going around cussing, asking people if they want drugs and steal cars. lol

interesting life style you have there.

What? I don't even...

 

[wolfgang784]

I suggest you all go take the "white car red" challenge that I designed on GTA. You take a white car, and try to turn it red by hitting enough people before your car breaks down/explodes from all the collisions.

Wait.....Are you telling me it's safe to turn off my lights when I sleep? Thank god.

Yes, because spawners aside, a mob cannot spawn within 24 blocks of a player. Hopefully your bedroom isn't too big. Don't forget to unsheath your sword in the morning and check for creepers before going to the bathroom.

Well a Asian family sold their kids for a couple grand to fund their online gaming at a coffee place or something around that.

Alright, thanks. I was legitimately afraid of sleeping at night, but now I feel safe. You're a life saver.
